Step 5.3 − Each team member reads aloud the detailed task list that he/she made, identifying
any assumptions made and raising any questions or issues. The task estimates are not
disclosed.
The individual detailed task lists contribute to a more complete task list when combined.
Step 5.4 − The team then discusses any doubt/problem they have about the tasks they have
arrived at, assumptions made, and estimation issues.
Step 5.5 − Each team member then revisits his/her task list and assumptions, and makes
changes if necessary. The task estimates also may require adjustments based on the discussion,
which are noted as +N Hrs. for more effort and –N Hrs. for less effort.
The team members then combine the changes in the task estimates to arrive at the total project
estimate.
Step 5.6 − The moderator collects the changed estimates from all the team members and plots
them on the Round 2 line.
In this round, the range will be narrower compared to the earlier one, as it is more consensus
based.
Step 5.7 − The team then discusses the task modifications they have made and the
assumptions.
Step 5.8 − Each team member then revisits his/her task list and assumptions, and makes
changes if necessary. The task estimates may also require adjustments based on the discussion.
The team members then once again combine the changes in the task estimate to arrive at the
total project estimate.
Step 5.9 − The moderator collects the changed estimates from all the members again and plots
them on the Round 3 line.
Again, in this round, the range will be narrower compared to the earlier one.
Step 5.10 − Steps 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 are repeated till one of the following criteria is met −
Results are converged to an acceptably narrow range.
All team members are unwilling to change their latest estimates.
The allotted Estimation meeting time is over.
Step 6 − The Project Manager then assembles the results from the Estimation meeting.
Step 6.1 − He compiles the individual task lists and the corresponding estimates into a single
master task list.
Step 6.2 − He also combines the individual lists of assumptions.
Step 6.3 − He then reviews the final task list with the Estimation team.
